Reflection Journal

Coming Soon! Anything worth thinking about, is worth writing down – and teaching is certainly worth thinking about. Down through the ages, journal writing has played a prominent role in the lives of thinkers, inventors, dreamers, and do-ers. Writing and thinking bring out the best in each other. The Reflection Journal will provide you with an interactive space to ponder, critique, and connect ideas about a thinking-centered lesson you may have designed recently, or one you aim to design. Each entry will prompt you to think about your teaching or your lessons in ways that will help deepen your conceptions about the teaching of thinking.
